This argument is so reductionist it defies logic. "Democracy is not when unelected judges unilaterally make decisions.” calgaryherald.com/news/premier...

Trump is on track to turn North America’s once-dominant auto industry into a backwater, where a few companies churn out inferior, dirty cars for a captive consumer base that has no choice but to buy them. Unless Canada quickly unties itself from the U.S., we’ll be in the same automotive mess.

Every world dies with a final word, "Whoops." Catelli's Conjecture.

"I there's intelligent life in the universe, why haven't we discovered it?" Because intelligence begets curiousity, which means all intelligence eventually dooms itself by regularly violating the "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." principle.

Okay, but here's a thought: what if we could avoid a surveillance state AND not have China "win" an "arms race" for a (*checks notes*) non-rival, non-excludable technology.

Now do universities and colleges

Awesome to see @lorrainesommerfeld.bsky.social on last night’s new episode of CBC Marketplace! www.cbc.ca/news/marketp...

"One ping only, R2."

They ain't wrong. And last year, there was a government that might have gotten poor reviews but was a fantastic, if imperfect, steward of the economy.

Adding “male” to ANY profession. Male pilot, male surgeon, male mechanic, male accountant. Then, being *faintly* encouraging of them. “Oh, he’s a male engineer? Good for him.” Lastly, reassuring others that they *probably* ok at their job. Ex: “He’s a male doctor but he’s probably okay at it?”

I prefer the singular possessive, "Oh, for fuck's sake." It just sounds more professional.

I could be wrong about it. I’m wrong about a lot of stuff. But it seems to me like the folks who wanted less government are getting glimpses of what that’s like.

Yikes

I’ve learned there’s this really simple technology for offline payments that has a unique and quite satisfying design, with colourful paper/plastic and metal components. I think this could be big

I mean, the extra $20 million that the Waterloo Region Police Service have asked for might also be a contributing factor. kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/11/06/b...

Good tree.

Think of a large happy dog, bounding through a field scaring a flock of geese. Now downsize that thought to a chipmunk and a flock of juncos, and you'll envision what I just witnessed in my yard.

There’s my weekend plans gone

strong contender for "walk of the year"

Tech people think we want AI, robots, and a colony on Mars but what I actually want is it to be quiet enough to listen to the birds.

well this is terrifying

The thing is if coffee had risen to $5 a cup 20 years ago, I could have quit smoking: now I'll have to give up vegetables.

The Fraser Institute published a study on the fiscal cost of Canada’s low-carbon economy -- one that (shocker!) found lots of money spent on relatively few jobs. I fact checked it for them. It didn't go well. maxfawcett.substack.com/p/lies-damn-...

This is such a great paper. We make endless small steps ahead in archaeology every week. I remember when I was starting out and the number of colleagues who told me not to waste my time with satellite imagery analysis. Now, it's used by everyone. Tremendous use case here. 🏺

Sigh. NIH normally sends several hundred scientists to the SFN annual meeting to learn, exchange info, come up with new ideas, and advance science. (The exchange of ideas is the very core of the scientific enterprise.) This year, no one from NIH will attend due to the gov't implosion.

I mean the fix was in. There was no penny to drop.

Someone needs to run against us-east-1 specifically.

The government has said repeatedly that it wants to use AI to replace up to 40,000 public sector jobs.

Let's dive into what a Bo Bichette contract extension might look like from the Blue Jays.

DID MULTIFACTOR AUTHENTICATION RUIN THE WORKPLACE!? HUH!? HUH!!!! Fucking right it did.

It seems the recall movement in Alberta is getting organized! operationtotalrecall.ca?fbclid=IwdGR...

Just ChatGPT's own numbers are "That means the company’s estimates translate to 560,000 people exhibiting symptoms of psychosis or mania weekly, with 1.2 million demonstrating heightened emotional attachment and 1.2 million showing signs of suicidal planning or intent."

It's crazy to me that we still treat the online realm like a wild west with thoroughly inadequate law enforcement. Yeah, there are civil liberties trade-offs to law enforcement. But the breadth and depth of the scam economy is clearly a cancer on our society.

Trump is so dumb he makes MTG look smart. He's accomplished one thing in his life.
